In this article you'll learn how to download the Kenjo Kiosk app from the App Store or Google Play and configure it on your device. The Kiosk allows you to set up an attendance punch point on iOS and Android devices, with guidance on securing the device to prevent unauthorized access. This article is relevant for anyone setting up an on-site attendance kiosk for the first time.
We invite you to download the app, it is very quick and easy, directly from the device you are going to use on-site, go to the app shop depending on the operating system you use iOS or Android.

1. Apple – iOS

With these simple steps you will download the app, then you only have to configure the session of this point as you normally configure it in the punch point, you can get these steps in this link: Launch the Attendance Kiosk
2. Android - GooglePlay
On devices with Android operating system, you will need to go to:
Google Play > Search > Kenjo Kiosk> Install
With these simple steps you will download the app, then you only have to configure the session of this point as you normally configure it in the punch point.
3. Locking the Punch Point
The tool does not lock the device where it is running and employees or anyone with physical access to the device could:
1. Close the browser/tab where the Punch-in Point is running.
2. Delete the Kiosk cookie, so that an administrator intervention would be required to restore the session.
3. Switch off the device
NOTE: We are responsible for the Kiosk functionality and any technical issues that may arise. However, we are not responsible for the safekeeping of the device that is used by you to run the Kiosk, however, we present possible solutions to prevent this from happening.
4. Computers (PC or Mac)
For these devices, the best recommendation we can give is to:
Have the CPUs locked where they cannot be tampered with and where no keyboard/mouse is available
Have them connected to a regular display (not smart)
This may restrict their use to QR only, but ultimately it’s up to you to choose the check-in method.
5. Mobile devices / Tablets
Mobile devices are commonly used in self-service hardware that we use every day (parking cashing machines, photo booths, modern jukeboxes, etc…) and we usually don’t notice that these are the same devices we use as end users. Why? Because they are locked you can only use an app running fullscreen.
Both iOS and Android have a vast array of third-party apps that will allow you to lock your screen to different extents, both for tablets and phones. However, Apple implemented a screen lock feature within iOS, that rendered most apps of these apps, useless. This is why we will make a distinction between iOS and Android, as in iOS the recommended option is to use Apple’s integrated feature, despite you can ultimately use a third-party provider like in Android.
6. iOS
In order to lock the kiosk (or any other) app in iOS, simply go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access. From there, you can always refer to Apple’s support article about the feature for more information in this regard.
7. Android
Just browsing “Kiosk” on either the Google or Apple store will yield a lot of results free or not. These solutions could lock the browser window so that even if you could use the keyboard (meaning a PIN code would be an option with some of these solutions), you wouldn’t be able to exit the browser or access the navigation bar.
Some recommendations are:
